While the anti-vaxxers have specialized in creating fake health passes (the Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie reported suspicions of fraud for 36,000 of those in circulation), the French continue to get vaccinated: since the beginning of the campaign, 50,249,948 people have received at least one injection (or 74.5% of the total population) and 47,988,307 people now have a complete vaccination schedule (or 71.2% of the total population) as of Thursday evening.
8,107 people were hospitalized for an infection with SARS-CoV-2 or its variants. This indicator has dropped by nearly a quarter since the beginning of September.
In critical care services, which treat the most severe cases, the decrease continues. With 72 new admissions in 24 hours, these units were caring for 1,586 Covid-19 patients this Friday, compared to 1,959 last week.
France has recorded 116,373 deaths since the beginning of the epidemic, including 89,527 in hospitals, and 49 in the last 24 hours.
